Nursing A Dog Through Parvo

RE: Nursing A Dog Through Parvo Post by healthy pets (12) | (10/24/2008) Contact Parvo is a disease of puppies, 18 months of age and younger, so older dogs will not get it, but if you have puppies under the age of 18 months, you would want to preventatively treat them with Parvaid - http://www.parvopuppy.com Information about treating parvo successfully at home: http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/heal_parvo.html For less than $50, Paraid (organic herbal formula) helped heal 5 of our puppies (after the vet killed one puppy and euthanized another) at home. We didn't lose one puppy and the worst one was 100% well within 24 hours of starting the Parvaid. So it saved our own puppies and us, since we didn't have $7200 the vet wanted to treat them for his 0% success rate with our first two puppies who got it. There are retail stores who carry here: http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/retailers.html Report Spam or Abuse RE: Nursing A Dog Through Parvo Post By Dia (Guest Post) (07/23/2008) I recently had a puppy that was 4 months of age. Always very spunky. Very happy. Any how in one day she was gone! Saturday evening she was not eating or running about like she always did. We bathed her put her in hot towel. She then began to have diarrhea and vomiting. Her stool was black {blood I assume} and her vomit red as well. We tried gatorade, yogurt. things we read that had worked. We wanted to keep her dehydrated. Well we did this all day Sunday. and Sunday night she passed. Our little Daisy is gone like that! I do have 2 other dogs that have me scared. I am so hoping they are ok. One is a Golden she is 6 and has had all her shots.years ago. And one is 11 mos whom I believe needed his shots. We gave him all his shots Monday. QUESTION? Will that be soon enough? Or will he still catch Parvo? I have been giving him Pedialite, amoxcillian, should I try broth too? he vomited only once this morning was food. No diarrhea and no fever. So far just laying around and not eating. HELP any advice?

My dog has made it through parvo, but could have heart problems because of the virus now. I hope this helps and good luck to you.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Nursing A Dog Through Parvo Post by bee37 (3) | (06/01/2008) Profile | Contact I took my shepherd/lab mix 10 month old pup to the vet two days ago because the day before she had the runs and was throwing up . My vet told me she had tested positive for parvo. I couldn't afford to keep her at the vets as it was going to cost me $1500 to $ 2000 and the vet said she still might not make it. So he prescribed a strong antibiotic, an anti nauseant medicine and to give her pepto-bismol. She is also on pedialite for dehydration. I've been up day and night making sure she gets her medicine . She has to drink 3/4 of a cup of pedialite every half an hour. She has been playing a bit when i take her out to the bathroom, she isn't lethargic,she will sit up and she is still alert to things. I have carpeting in my livingroom and two bedrooms, if i steam clean them will it be ok for her to go in those rooms. Right now she is penned off in my hallway as I cleaned it with a bleach solution to get rid of any germs, and she will stay in there for now until i call my vet back on Monday. I am just wondering about my carpets. I hope someone can answer this for me !!

A dog of mine got parvo from the dog next door. Mine got taken to the vets and lovingly nursed but he still died. Next door's got left to fend for itself in the garden and it survived. Actually, implying that people don't somehow care for their pets if they happen to die is insensitive to say the least.

He survived, but I believe the mitigating factor was that we caught it early, before he became too dehydrated.

I helped her take care of them. Both received the same meds and care. Both really had to be coaxed at first to drink any water and forcing them didn't seem to work. I was glad when one started to he drink water on his own. He was sick about 3 days before he started drinking water. Besides the meds from the vet, we then gave him chicken broth, finely cut chicken and rice. He gradually ate more and more of it. The other refused water and quickly became lethargic, and when he was taken back to the vet, the vet said he could do nothing for him. They lost the one pup, but were able to pull the other thru. It depends how sick the the pup gets. Every puppy that is sick should be taken to a vet to see what he has and only if the vet thinks you can care for him at home, should he be nursed at home. Even then the outcome can't be known. You can lose the animal no matter how much love and care you give it.
